The portable anime-style Might & Magic Clash of Heroes launches today on the DS, and going with that, Ubisoft has released a trailer for it.

Looks decent and all unto itself, but as a M&M game, we have to wonder why an altogether new series wasn't created, as this one has never competed directly with Square Enix titles, but that's what this one looks to be doing.

Anyhow, below is the trailer; farther down is the appended description.

In this game, through five unique and epic quests, players will alternate exploration and turn-based puzzle battles to save the world of Ashan from demonic chaos. Might & Magic Clash of Heroes also adopts a brand new manga-style art design that is perfectly suited to Nintendo DS. In a world populated by knights, elves, wizards, necromancers and demons, gamers can manage their own hero, customize their army and lead campaigns in the mythic Might & Magic world.

"Our fans have always appreciated the depth and richness of the Might & Magic universe,” said Romain de Waubert de Genlis, senior producer at Ubisoft. "The teams at Ubisoft and Capybara were inspired to extend that universe in a unique way onto DS, creating an engaging new game experience.”

Created for Might & Magic fans while also attracting new audiences, Might & Magic Clash of Heroes can be played in solo mode or shared with a friend in two-player peer-versus-peer mode.
